for those about to rock

the godfather

i'll leave the wide-scope tributes that rightfully encompass brown's long, storied career in the capable hands of the folks that are more familiar than i with the man and his staggering output.

i do know that if it weren't for james brown, i wouldn't be playing or enjoying the guitar nearly as much or with anywhere near the same approach as i do now, nor would i be listening to music in the same way, with ear and body attuned to the almighty groove. his resonance in pop music specifically and pop culture generally was and is absolutely seismic.

thanks so much, jb.
